Panthère Noir needed one result to end a three-year wait: in the 2025/26 promotion play-off, the club beat Amasipiri Never Give Up 5-0 and returned to Ligue A for 2026/27.
Founded in 2016 and based in Makamba, the club plays its home matches at the Stade Nkurunziza Peace Park Complex. The town is a modest base for top-flight football in Burundi, where the league's stronger clubs cluster around Bujumbura and Gitega, and Panthère Noir's own run through the divisions has mostly been reported in bare league tables rather than match reports — no nickname, no settled colours, no player or coach has surfaced in the records kept on the club.
The clearest measure of where the club stands against the country's established sides came in the 2024 Burundi Cup, where Panthère Noir reached the round of 32 before Vital'O FC ended the run, 2-0. Vital'O is one of the most decorated clubs in Burundian football, and the two meet again in Ligue A this season — a mismatch on paper, given Vital'O's history, but the kind of fixture that will tell Panthère Noir quickly whether its return to the top flight is built to last.
